Data definition

CrateDB schemas are very similar to PostgreSQL schemas.

You might want to give https://pgloader.io/ a try. According to its documentation, one of the supported options is indicated as “Migrate from MS SQL Server® to PostgreSQL”. And since CrateDB is mostly compatible with PostgreSQL, PgLoader might be able to satisfy your requirements.

Hi, I think you may encounter some issues with pgloader as it makes use of a specific feature in PostgreSQL, but if you are considering moving data from MSSQL to CrateDB you may find this tutorial interesting and you could use this to get started translating MSSQL statements (including CREATE TABLE commands) to the PostgreSQL dialect.
